Eerie Echoes: The Disturbing Pattern of Tragic Falls Linked to Tianyu Media’s Young Stars
In a chilling pattern that’s left fans reeling in horror, beloved actor Yu Menglong‘s fatal fall mirrors a haunting string of eerily similar tragedies—mysterious plunges, sudden losses, and unexplained ends—that have claimed young stars from the same agency, Tianyu Media, over the years. What started as isolated grief has exploded into furious demands for answers, as heartbroken supporters uncover connections that shatter the official “accidental” narratives.
BEIJING – As of January 5, 2026, the death of Chinese actor Yu Menglong (Alan Yu) on September 11, 2025, continues to fuel widespread suspicion and outrage. The 37-year-old star fell from a Beijing apartment building. Authorities quickly ruled it an alcohol-related accident, excluding foul play. Yet, online investigations reveal a troubling pattern: multiple young artists associated with Tianyu Media (EE-Media) died under similarly dubious circumstances, often involving falls or sudden unexplained ends.

Yu rose to fame through talent competitions and dramas like Eternal Love. Fans adored him for his kindness and philanthropy. Reports from outlets like Koreaboo and The Economic Times highlight at least eight prior cases over two decades, making Yu the ninth. Examples include:
- Singer Tan Beixi (2006) — died in an “unusual” car accident.
- Actor Shang Yubo (2011) — fell from a high-rise after hours on the rooftop.
- Bian Ce (2015) — plunged from a building in Tianjin.
- Ben Xi (2016) — jumped from her residence.
- Qiao Renliang (2016) — ruled suicide.
- Ren Jiao (2017) — fell from a hotel.
- Actress Lu Jiayong (2019) — disappeared after posting about industry stress.
- Singer Cai Chong (2020) — died suddenly with little explanation.
Many involved falls, alcohol/drugs, or quick official closures amid limited transparency.
Public backlash intensified after Yu’s death. Heavy censorship removed over 100,000 posts, suspended accounts, and sparked protests. Petitions on platforms like Avaaz and Change.org surpassed 700,000 signatures demanding reinvestigation. Tianyu’s parent company, Mango Super Media, faced stock plunges, executive resignations, and boycotts.
Fans point to shared manager Du Qiang (linked to Yu and Qiao Renliang) and industry pressures like exploitative contracts. Some cases shared locations, like the Sunshine Upper East complex in Beijing.
Authorities and the agency maintain accidents or suicides, citing personal struggles. Yet, the recurrence—young, rising talents at career peaks—raises questions of coincidence versus darker forces, such as unchecked power or systemic issues in China’s entertainment sector.
Yu’s legacy of quiet generosity endures, inspiring unity among fans. As global voices join calls for independent probes, the pattern demands scrutiny: tragic coincidence or shadow behind glamour? Supporters vow persistence until truth emerges.
